Danielle Striker is a live cash grinder in Las Vegas, Nevada. For over 15 years, she has been a Texas Hold’em tournament player, winning hundreds of tournaments both live and online. Danielle has played well over 5 million hands of Texas Hold'em all over the globe, including at The Aviation Club in Paris, France, and at the Casino de Barcelona in Spain.
In 2013, Danielle played in her first World Series of Poker Main Event after winning her seat by winning first place in a Las Vegas $10K tournament league. She has won thousands of dollars, and lost thousands of hands, but never missed the lessons that poker and life have taught her.
Danielle’s love of poker, combined with the study of the fundamental nature of existence, led her to create Poker Samadhi, to help others play their best game and live their best life.
Poker is a deep-thinking game and a game of observation. It’s been said that, “Poker is a game of people, played with cards.” Observing yourself and others is key to becoming a great player. One night, when Danielle was playing poker, she had a “peak” experience - it was really like an out-of-body experience. Danielle recognized that poker is analogous to life, and that both are a game.
Danielle has read over 350 books on all variations of poker and catalogued their wisdom to create Poker Samadhi. She has studied with many poker legends including Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Annie Duke, Greg (Fossil Man) Raymer, Joe Hachem, Alex Outhred, Annette Obrestad, Phil Gordon, Joe Navarro (FBI Tell Author) and online with Phil Ivey and high-stakes cash player Alec Torrelli. She has also taught poker with her mentor, Tom McEvoy, a four-time WSOP Champion.
From a philosophy perspective, she has read and studied with hundreds of human-potential Gurus, and self-help experts, including Werner Erhard, Deepak Chopra, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Bob Proctor, Marianne Williamson, Mike Dooley and, most recently, Sadhguru.
Bad beats come in poker and in life. Having survived numerous bad beats in life, poker gave Danielle’s life new meaning, and gave her the opportunity to help others thrive when faced with challenging situations - not only at the poker table, but also in life.
Danielle’s love of poker and of life led her to create Poker Samadhi, to help others play their best game and live their best life.
